> Apples iPhone is not a monopoly like Windows was a monopoly Very true. It's more like if Windows, Intel, and IBM were the same company. And you couldn't buy compatible hardware from anyone else. And you couldn't buy their hardware without their bundled OS, apps and browser. And they didn't just bundle their preferred OS, apps, and browser, but prevented you from changing or removing them. And furthermore, would not let you install any other software except what they approved of. And, of course, would not approve anything that competed with their own products or that they just randomly didn't like. Oh, and if it broke, you had to buy the parts only from them and use their repair service. And if 3rd party repair is legislatively mandated, they just made compliance as worthless as legally (or not) possible, and just intentionally made repairs just about impossible anyhow. And we all thought bill gates and the halloween memos, etc. were peak "evil".
